A.

Work Step by Step

Hardy-Weinberg looks at genotype (A.) rather then allele frequency (B.) even though allele frequency determines genotypes. C. is wrong since assortative mating is a violation of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and, by definition, will alter frequencies, and D. is wrong because assortative mating would have the opposite effect, increasing the proportion of homozygotes.
